economy but what does austria has moved to the right mean for the continent we'll bring you the latest from vienna also coming up. a tight race to replace south africa's jacob zuma as the country's ruling party prepares to vote for a new leader but can the scandal weekend and see win back public trust in time for the two thousand and one thousand elections. and i'm going to sleep at soccer i'm launching gladbach make mincemeat out of hamburg going into the winter break taking them to fourth place in the standings. and have a quad and while come to the program austria is on track to become western europe's only country with a far right party in government after the conservatives struck a coalition deal with the freedom party austria's new chancellor sebastian courts will become the continent's youngest leader after his party won october's elections

with a hard line against immigration we'll go to vienna to find out more on the return of the far right and what it means for the country's future but first we have this report. the deal is done for a new government in austria and it's one that shifts the country sharply to the right sebastian cortes the leader of the conservative people's party will become chancellor and europe's youngest head of government at just thirty one he has partnered with karl heinz tata the leader of the far right freedom party their top goal to curb immigration. our goals are very clear we want to reduce the burden on taxpayers we want to strengthen our position to secure our social security system above all we want to ensure more security in our country including fighting illegal immigration. kurtz's

hardline stance on immigration was one of the main reasons he topped the october poll he addressed the anxieties of many voters about the refugee crisis calling for tougher border controls and promising change his party won the election with thirty one point five percent of the vote. not. exactly two months ago the austrian people voted they made a clear decision for a change in our country. and we want to secure this change together in the next five years. austrian president alexander founded balun is expected to swear in the new government on monday but it's not one that he like the green leaning politician is an open critic of the far rice just one year ago he narrowly won the presidential election against the freedom party's candidates. for more on this let's cross now to journalist john commons in vienna john it's good to see you

the far right freedom party have been in a coalition government in austria before so this is not the first time what impact are they likely to have. well i think we've seen already from the kinds of statements that have been coming out of the coalition negotiations what kind of impact the freedom party the populist far out party here are likely to have in government certainly mr cootes has made some concessions it would same to get this coalition off the ground and as your reports are fairly clearly stated in that package most of those concessions seem to be around the idea of clamping down on immigration and. refugee policy and that kind of thing and also some kind of far reaching reforms in the areas of the social partnership here in austria so i think they're going to be the major themes that will see the freedom party here take the lead on ok and the party is potentially getting some of the biggest

ministries foreign interior and defense should the european union leaders be worried about this. well certainly the the freedom party leader hans christian strucker is going to be the deputy chancellor here that's for certain they will also as you said at the interior ministry which is a very powerful ministry here in austria and the foreign ministry as well looks like it's going to go to someone who's up a lot a lot allied to the freedom body at least whether or not the european. union should be worried about these i'm not exactly sure i mean it will remain to be seen in what direction the government goes i suppose what's interesting i think there is the reaction from europe so far i mean back in two thousand when we had this. this conservative freedom party government the first time around of course the e.u. impose sanctions on austria there were protests there was a huge reaction from brussels and from all across europe this time there's been barely a week it's as though the whole political landscape has shifted so far to the right

now that this has become simply an ordinary occurrence. ok a different reaction a different situation during the campaign refugees and border security dominated it why did these far right positions go down so well with austrian voters. well i think you have to remember that austria did accept a lot of refugees back in twenty fifteen in fact in terms of population as many years as germany back in that big wave of violence that came across the west balkans and i think there are legitimate concerns about always people that arrived people are concerned about border security they're concerned about the social system here and whether it can card and set about finding jobs and accommodation and so on those kinds of concerns are also seen in germany and i think what coolants did very well as you realized very early on that this was about you know that he could play on those kinds of views that people have any good make that into a winning proposition for the election back in october and so i think that's that's

proving to be correct john cummins in vienna thank you now to some of the other stories making news around the world a powerful earthquake has struck indonesia as main island of java killing at least three people and injuring many more the six point five magnitude quake destroyed dozens of homes and forced authorities to evacuate patients from damaged hospitals . romania is holding a funeral for king michael who died earlier this month after a long battle with leukemia and skin cancer he died at the age of ninety six in exile in switzerland michael ruled romania twice before being forced to abdicate by the country's former communist regime in one nine hundred forty seven two health care workers contracted the ebola virus in sierra leone have filed a lawsuit against the government accusing it of mismanaging funds they also allege in adequate resources from the government led to their infection more than three

thousand people have died from the virus in the country between two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and sixteen. now to south africa where a potentially historic vote is set to take place delegates from the country's ruling a.n.c. party are gathering right now to elect a successor to president jacob zuma is shaping up to be a tight race one of the front runners is the ex-wife and form four former rather foreign minister. zuma she's a leftist who's vowed to improve prospects for the country's black majority she's up against deputy president zero rum opposed is a business friendly trade unionist and one of the wealthiest people on the continent the winner will likely be south africa's next president. for more on this we're joined by journalist philip divest from the mail and guardian philip thanks for taking the time the race between the two candidates is too close to call there are new developments though this hour that could make it

even closer can you tell us about that. well in the next hour of this conference we find. five hours later the reason for that today some last minute legal action came to us today that has now seen the exclusion of what. two point five percent of the voting delegates at this conference keep in mind that a space we could tell the margin between the cheating candidates five percent to twenty somethings are very close indeed now once the conference gets underway we'll get a sense of the kind of arguments that might emerge in terms of which francia still be excluded and the credentials of various delegates both boxes by the sides of the party will during that process be try to be getting a hey day mr psyche on that count again and then maybe some way towards the night we'll know who the people will actually be who vote full the next leader of the

a.n.c. and only then can we stop even to predict how they might go and certainty even on who can vote friends candidates but speaking of the two top ones as we mentioned earlier could either of them truly bring about change within the party it's a big question within the soul and of course within south africa as a whole that you candidates are quite different a very different in their economic approach as they very different history but the question is with either of them is powerful enough to pull the agency out of this morass corruption difficulties that's right into and of course with the party so divided between these t.v. shows we haven't gets the top job is going to have to reunites this very fractured suppose that brooch off the agency there are analysts tell us that is possibly just a job that cannot be done to fill up the vet in johannesburg thank you.
